Shakespeare in the Sangres ~ The Misanthrope
July 1 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
$20
Arguably Molière’s comic masterpiece, written in 1666, the misanthrope of the title is Alceste, a nobleman so disgusted with the follies, vanities, and insincerities of his society that he’s become borderline boorish. Alas for the censorious Alceste, he is irresistibly attracted to the beautiful and frivolous Celimène, who embodies every social ill that he deplores, and whose flirtations and double-dealings with her circle of equally frivolous friends and suitors drive him to distraction. Can the Beast and the Beauty ever find happiness together? Come see The Misanthrope and find out!
